Bindi

The teacher talked about something

She wasn’t listening

She was looking at her teacher’s bindi

Her big, fat bindi

It was bright red

It reminded her of the sun

The sun that gives us vitamin D

“What if there were no sun?”

She wondered,

“The world would be dark

The kids would have no sunlight to play in

The plants would bathe in darkness

The world would not know when to awake

We would be but, sad without the sun”

She looked hard at her bindi

The mind was everything, but distracted

I Miss You

I was not sure what I was doing here. Should I be here? Should I not? I stood outside the door for 15 minutes then, finally knocked. She opened the door. She looked…different. Well, what else was I to expect in 10 years. When she saw me her eyes welled up with tears but she fought them back.

“Come in.” She said. She made tea for herself and coffee for me. She remembered.

We talked about her for a while. Then, she slowly asked me “Where did you go?” 

Where did I go? At first I was lost, I was scared. I thought of going back home but then I found a job. A job I liked. And from that point onwards everything in my life went well, with a few downfalls of course. But every time something happened, good or bad I wanted to tell her. I wanted to tell my sister. But I couldn’t because I was afraid.

“I got a job.” I said. We talked about my job for a while.

“Go meet mom and dad.” She said.

Mom and dad? No. I was still completely afraid of meeting them, they may still not approve of my choices.

“Maybe someday.” I said. Then there was a silence. We both wanted to say lot during that silence and maybe we did. I looked at my watch “I better get going.”

She walked me to the door. Told me to visit again and when the door closed behind me I heard a silent whisper “I miss you.”   

Quiet

Two friends sat at the edge of a river
They sat silently for hours, or so, it seemed

"Why so quiet?" One asked the other
"It's loud in my head." Was the reply

Heaven or Hell

He lay there, thinking

About life after death

“Hell” he thought

‘Cause he had done some unforgivable things

He would be carved by screaming souls

Until he vowed to do sinful things

He would walk into the fiery pit

And become what he is not

At least the suffering would stop

Or so he would think

He would cry bitterly and quietly

For he would not know, what he would become

“Heaven, maybe.”

A place where he would get a second chance

He would live a different life

He would become a better man

And when he is one of the best

He will be sent back down

To live life all over again

But not remembering his previous life

Will make the same mistakes

And life will never end

He still lay there thinking

As he took his final breath

And ceased to exist.

Seen

I walked through the Hogwarts halls. I was pretty sure that I was lost. There was no one to be seen. No prefects, no ghosts. I was starting to get really scared, but just then I saw a door. I heaved a sigh of relief and pushed the enormous, dome-shaped door open. The room was empty except for an old mirror.  I knew immediately what it was: The Mirror of Erised (desire). I had always wanted to look into it, I knew it was bad but how bad could it be? In this way my curiosity took over my will power. I walked up to it and after seeing my heart’s reflection, I froze and thought to myself, “Some dreams are just not meant to be seen.”

A Dream.

Scene 1

(Fairy some funcomes on the stage. Good fairies enter)

Elsa: What are you doing Alan?

Alan: Can you see the kids down there?

Anna: Yes! Those children with torn clothes?

Alan: Yes, when I came here I saw they were crying.

Elsa: But now they are laughing and playing happily.

Alan: Yes! That is because I helped them. You see, today in school they taught us to make toys and clothes and many other things with our imagination. And I used this to help them! Look! They are playing with balls and cars!

Anna: (looking at Elsa impressed)

Elsa: Wow! That is very nice of you! I’m sure you will be a great fairy king, always helping the poor…

Alan: Yes, but before becoming a king I want to fulfill my dream.

Anna: And what is that?                         

Alan: To see all the dreams of the world!

Elsa: Amazing! And where will you go to see them?

Alan: To the mountain of dreams of course.

(End of scene 1)

Scene 2

(Evil fairies reading a book)

Alice: Where is the information?

Ursurla: I’m sure it’s on page 394.

Alice: (Opens pages frantically) HERE!

Ursurla: (Holding the book up) to become immortal you will need: A crystal wand.

Alice: We got that!

Ursurla: The drops from the fountain of misery.

Alice: Got it!

Ursurla: And a male fairies’ skull.

Alice: There is only one male fairy in the whole of fairyland.

Ursurla: Yes! Alan! We need to capture him. Get the fortune globe; let’s see where he is now.

Alice: (places the globe carefully) Look, he is packing his bag, looks like he is going on a journey.

Ursurla: He must be going to the mountain of dreams. The other day he was telling the centaur he would be going there.

Alice: Then this is our chance. We have to capture him when he is away from home.

(Both laugh)

(End of scene 2) 

Scene 3

(Alan is walking)

Alan: Wow! A chocolate waterfall! I should drink some. (Cups his hands and drinks chocolate) I should also carry some for the journey but…umm…I don’t have anything to carry it in… (Looks around and plucks something) Huh! Good thing someone grew a cup flower tree here! (Collects chocolate and carries on)

(End of scene 3)

Scene 4

Ursurla: I am so thirsty.

Alice: Me too…look! A well!

Ursurla: Water…finally!! (Runs towards well and draws water with magic)

(Both drink)

Ursurla: (Looking into the well and speaking) I love how wells echo what do you say?

Alice: Okay…

Ursurla:Lets have some fun with echos. Come on. Dear, Good fairies. Elsa and Anna! We are now going to take over fairyland. We just need to get that Alan kid’s skull. But that’s no big deal.

Hear the echo?

Alice: (laughing) you are already drunk with power.

Ursurla: Well. If we want to gain power we have to follow Alan’s route. I sense he went that way. (They walk)

(End of scene 4)

Scene 5

Elsa: The good fairies are going to get Alan’s skull and takeover fairyland!

Anna: How do you know this?

Elsa: Because they sent us a message through the well of messages. Why would they do that though?

Anna: I don’t know. But we have to stop them.

(End of scene 5)

Scene 6 

 

Alan: (Looking around in wonder) finally! I made it to the mountain of dreams. (Walks a little further and picks up two dreams) There are dreams everywhere! Top to down. I wonder whose dreams these are! Oh, they have names on them. Umm…Alice and...Ursurla...Aren’t these the evil fairies? Who want to take over fairyland…I have to see their dreams. (Opens drams)

Ursurla: (Hands in the air) I want to fly! Free like a bird! Besides the clouds and with the wind in my wings.

Alice: (Stirring something in a pot) I want to cure everyone of everything! I want to make a medicine that will cure all.

(Statue)

(End of scene 6)

Scene 7 

Ursurla: That was an old dream..

Alice: Mine too…

Ursurla: I never got to learn to fly though...because I got so involved in a dark magic...no time for rubbish magic…

Alice: Yeah…There was no ready made recipe for a medicine like that…I decided to join dark magic like my family…

Ursurla: I...umm…sometimes still dream about...flying you know.

Alice: I too sometimes wish…no…but yeah I actually wish of curing all diseases.

Ursurla: If we take over fairy land, how many dreams like ours will we be destroying?

Alice: Too many!

Ursurla: You know what...let’s change our plan...lets cancel this plan of immortality...what will we do living forever? Let’s go make that medicine!

Alice: You’re right! And let’s also go and learn the art of flying.
